The Newtown Chamber of Commerce and the Newtown Rotary Club will co-host the eighth Annual Business of the Year Awards Dinner on Monday, March 28, at the Inn at Newtown from 6 to 8.
This recognition program acknowledges two companies that make considerable contributions to the Newtown community. In addition to receiving a trophy, the Newtown Rotary Club and Newtown Chamber will each donate $100 to the winnerâs charity or organization of choice.
Two awards will be presented. Category I represents companies operating with 15 or fewer employees and Category II represents companies operating with more than 15 employees. Last year, Preferred Insurance was honored in Category I and T.R. Paul was honored for Category II.
Over the past month, residents and business owners have had the opportunity to nominate local businesses who contribute to the community and deserve to be recognized. Nominations were reviewed by the awards committee, comprising representatives from both the Newtown Chamber and Rotary Club.
The committee chose the top three finalists for each category, with the two winners to be announced March 28.
Category I finalists are Associated Refuse Haulers, Berkshire Motors, and Katherineâs Kitchen. Category II finalists are Dental Associates, Newtown Savings Bank, and Sal e Pepe Restaurant
